The Unchanging Gospel

Today is Mother’s Day and I’m aware of it. I praise God. Let me enter into the word of God. First Corinthians chapter 15 verses 1 to5. If you continue to believe the message I told you, unless of course you believed something that was never true in the first place, I passed on to you what is what was most important and what had been what had also been passed on to me. Christ died for our sins just as the scriptures said. He was buried and he was raised from the dead on the third day just as the scripture said. He was seen by Peter and then by the 12. Five, we read um that he appeared to K first and to the 12 according to the scriptures. Uh Paul understood and Paul is imparting this. What did we understand or receive? What more do we have to receive? Very important aspect. That is a very important aspect. Paul says the gospel I understood what it is and what it is not. I did not receive a seasonal gospel like for Christmas or not a suffering gospel in the during the time of Lent or rejoicing in Easter. I received a gospel of salvation, The Unchanging Gospel. this gospel of salvation that is full. So I give unto you what I received from the Lord. What is the gospel of salvation? Uh today we hear the gospel of the times. and some preach gospel of science. But we proclaim the gospel of salvation. That is not the gospel of the body. That is not the redemption of the body. That is the salvation of your soul. After after salvation when the spirit lives in the body there will be trouble in the body but we overcome all of that. We grow in faith and that gospel is the right gospel. That is the gospel of obedience. We need to obey the gospel. What we receive from the Bible. Any uh anything that we do not obey is not from God. And the second verse says like this. what we have communicated and what you have received what we told you and what you received and I don’t want you to go to waste what one is the gospel of eternal life when you receive Jesus Christ you will receive uh salvation of you will receive eternal This is what I want to remind you. What one thing I what I received I given to you and I remind what I experienced and Lord Jesus Christ died for our sins according to the word of God. He was he died and then he was raised. He was buried and then raised on the third day. He appeared to kas and then other other is a word for the gospel. It has a foundation and that foundation is the word of God. And the Lord gave us 2,000 years back through the Old Testament all this gospel. So this gospel is according to that word of God. When you receive this gospel according to the word You need to be aware of your sins. For our sins, what is the sin today? We live in a context that justifies sin. Word of God gives great importance to sin. Only the blood of Christ can wash you of your sins. Your friendship with other people cannot remove your sins. You cannot remove sins with your knowledge. Not with your knowledge, not with your authority. Two types of people came to Jesus asking questions. The disciples questions are all simple questions. They asked like this. Can you reveal more mysteries of the word of God of God? Why can’t we cast out demons? We will not ever deny you. All they asked was to no more. Contrary to that outsiders, legal communities. However, the intention of the other communities like Pharisees and scribes was different. They were questioning who gave you authority to forgive sins. Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord. The questions are the outsiders asked is not the same questions as the insiders. Uh these days the insiders ask the same question like the outsiders pastor. Who gave you the authority? Who gave the authority to the committee? When I call a lady, if the parents also accompany her, who is responsible? Now all the questions, all the questions insiders should ask, the outsiders are asking and vice versa. I rejoice in one thing in the word. Oh, whatever anybody asks. The word of God says like this, those who evangelize their feet is most beautiful. The word of God says if somebody denies you with the dust off your feet, I will question them. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. So whatever, whatever problem, oh go with courage those who are in the word of God. We are called by God. God will watch out us for us. God will not let us go astray. Two things I just said. One is the gospel of salvation. Second thing, the gospel according to the word of God. And the gospel according to the word of God gives a big importance to sin. Sin is a big deal these days. If sin enters a child of God, then they won’t have any revival or life. So we need to be careful. It should not enter into us. Keep away from the sinful nature. For you to grow in the Lord, you need to keep away from sin because we need to live a life without sin. This is the gospel Paul understood. We need to understand the gospel like the same. We need to leave the order of the world and get into the order of the Lord. When we learn about three or four states in South India, their politics and their religioity goes in the same direction. Sometimes I meditate about the church. The same way in in Tamil Nadu there is idol or hero worship in the temple in the church or in the politics is the same thing. So if the pastor is a hero then there will be many members there. So there is a cultural importance to hero worship wisdom literature in Kataga it’s about poetic wisdom and literature any tradition with the culture has an importance there. In churches in in Canada there is a great importance for poetical recitation. In Andhra Pradesh it is a different aspect of Eurovision expressions mega expressions etc has big importance in Andhra Pradesh
because I know that’s two different states that’s why I use the word praise the lord hallelujah in Kerala it is a little Friendism in Kerala is realism. There is nothing in Kerala without debate and discussion.
Church debate discussion.
In church also it’s debate and discussion.
TV debate discussion.
TV also debate and discuss debate discussion. Family also husband, wife, children are debating and discuss debate and discussion is about debate and discussion.
Then what is the truth out of all this?
What is the truth? We who are from southern part of India, we know when if we incorporate this and do something, it has some effectiveness. So we need heroes amongst us. We need political people. We we need we need people who can debate and discuss. We need people.
We need people who can lead with knowledge and understanding. Before I didn’t like shy people in the church, but right now I like him because So we need them too. Hello. Praise the Lord.
We don’t need one people. Those who don’t move in the church.
Hallelujah. Hallelujah. I not poking you. And I am just trying to motivate you. What is our gospel? All these states I just said. is related to the spirituality. 1899. Um dur during the time I was in Punjab as a pastor. when I was traveling on a bus, 72 people could sit in that bus. I was the smallest one there. If the those two guys who are sitting on each side, if they press me, I would be crushed. I got so much courage when I was working amongst them. interaction and interaction. If we get courage and strength from uh a variety of personalities, there is so much into God has given a a command to the world and man has a a law for the east and the west. center of gravity. Even the gravity is a law. It is not an angel who brings the sun uh to light. No angel is switching off the sun in the evening. Yeah, in Kerala when there are people who can light up uh festivities in in churches natural law and order system.
The Lord has established a natural law and order system for the whole world
and we need to uh take care of it.
Yeah, we have sanctity line between this world and other worldly between sanctity. Um there is a line of sanctity between this world and the other world and that is the uh righteousness of the heart. We need to grow in faith in truth and that is very important. Many people lie these days. Do you know why it happens? Because they ask us questions, we are forced to lie. See, we always wonder why they are asking me such questions. Uh to pastors, they ask when did you come, when are you leaving, and where did you all where did you go? Do do you need to do they need to ask me the questions? I always escape intellectually. Why did you ask me?
Yeah. Are do you have any plans to give me a program or do you want to host me for a couple of days?
So that that’s the time the questions end. We can we can close some people’s questions. Hallelujah. Hallelujah.
If we ask questions that we are supposed to lie, how can we escape that relationship respectful? So let us keep mutual respect and know the truth. We need to grow in faith. We need to grow in faith. Let me share a story that I got from YouTube about an American president. This is a story I heard from George Bush. There was a young atheist. He doesn’t have any faith. Can you teach me faith in God?
Philosophers.
Oh. So he asked the philopers, philosophers, please teach me faith. Can you teach me faith in faith and believe in lord?
Then he asked check with the scientist can you make me believe in the lord? So he asked everybody can you teach common people also he asked. So everybody is asking you how can we teach you about faith. It is not it is important. That is an experiential thing you should experience. So if you surrender you will experience faith. So we will pray for you. So one day one afternoon he climbed a a a mountain. So suddenly there was an earthquake and a tsunami and all that. So everybody escaped and then suddenly he started crying out in the middle of it. Uh, one of the one the earth split beneath his feet and he got a hold of a tiny branch and then he’s asking who will save me is heaven is there is a heaven who can save me now. Heaven, please answer me. If there is a God in heaven, please save me and I will believe in you. So the Lord said, “Okay, I’ll give him a chance.” Heaven open heaven opened up and there was a voice and that voice was like this.
Leave your hands uh around 300 400 ft in depth. He looked down he terrified if I leave this branch I am done.
Second he is again asking God. So is there any second person in heaven? Is there any second person in heaven?
What is your opinion? How can you say me open for a second opinion? And he also ask heaven. He understands the trinity concept and again he’s asking. So the heaven’s doors closed.
All three had only one voice.
Leave your hands. Take risk. God will protect you.
This is faith. When God tells you to leave, you leave. 200 300t. When we look, it is a big depth that beneath your feet. But the creator god can support you if you leave your hands. We took enough risk to come out of our nominal Christian.
We have not risked Christ for faith sake. Rather, we risked our own life for the sake of Christ. We are a people who came out strongly, so courageously. When the Lord tells us, when the Lord tells you to leave something, when the Lord tells you do it,
faith has its own challenge. Today’s gospel season is not the gospel of seasons. It’s not it doesn’t change according to the trend. It’s a gospel of salvation.
And this gospel of salvation if we are strengthening in it without a sin without sin we’ll be able to live
holy life.
A holy life that is very important. Church is holy place.
Sanctuary is a holy place.
Sanctuary is a holy place.
Holy Should be grace of God we enjoy.
Hallelujah.
Praise the Lord.
Hallelujah.
